Anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece
stability, through optimised alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the
tongue and palate.

The Neue Schule Flex design concept delivers a guaranteed and well
controlled co-alignment of the surfaces of the mouthpiece with the
sensitive surfaces of the equine mouth. For most designs Flex delivers
parallel co-alignment of the Turtle Top dome with the equine palate.

In selected designs we allow Flex to deliver some firm but fair
additional pressure to the tongue and poll using a lever action-induced
rotation of the mouthpiece. The extra pressure obtainable is carefully
restricted with Flex limiting the range of additional rotation to around
10 degrees.

FlexZ

FlexZ is a development of our popular Tranz range (hence the "Z).
Gently curved cannons form a wide arch aligned over the tongue and held
in shape by Turtle Top. FlexZ is therefore more securely centred on the tongue and more resistant to being pulled through the mouth.

FlexZ Jumper

A showjumping favourite that sits them on their hocks and helps make
tight turns. Designed for extra control, outline and much more help with
straightness and turning. Often the answer for the very enthusiastic
horse with a sensitive mouth that may even be prone to rubs, chafing
etc. A curb strap may be employed on the top ring for extra control.
Often used as a flat work training tool on the main ring to mimic the
Baucher.

This innovation is brilliant for the over-active busy mouth that
chomps and chews on the mouthpiece. Turtle Top with Flex keeps the
mouthpiece centred and arched over the tongue at all times, safely
helping to prevent sideways tongue evasions. This comfortable mouthpiece
re-focuses the inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to
achieve a soft consistent contact.

A Revolutionary Design;

The unique and innovative Turtle Top TM bit has been designed to help quieten and focus the over-active and busy mouth.The revolutionary Turtle Top TM prevents the horse from lifting the side arms, or "cannons, of the bit through its inspired joint design that locks the upward flexion of the cannons.The resulting stability of the bit in the mouth allows the rider to give clearer rein aids and provides the horse with fewer distractions.
